Man is in the midst of the mysteries of the spirit, and the flesh is infinitely deduced

Ji Yunting came back to his senses and replied, "This is a temple."

Anle suddenly realized.

Under the gods, all beings are equal.

Whether they are slaves or monks, they are all ants in front of the gods, but it seems that they are equal.

The reason why the atmosphere of belief in gods is more intense in Daxia may be related to the huge gap between different classes.

Anle also saw a woman holding a baby. Judging from her ragged clothes and haggard face, she was probably a slave. The child in her arms was motionless, as if it had been dead for a long time.

The woman kept muttering, "Holy Mother of Tianyuan, bless my son and let him be born into a rich and noble family in the next life."

Anle was in a heavy mood.

Because there is no hope in this life, people place their hopes on the world after death and the afterlife, and believing in gods is the only way for people.

Anle sighed in his heart, then noticed a word the woman said, and said.

"Tianyuan Holy Mother..."

As soon as he uttered the name, Anle suddenly felt something in his heart, as if an invisible thread was hanging from above, trying to connect him together.

However, perhaps because he was in the Zhenyang Stone, the strange silk thread lingered for a while and then stopped tracking.

This sudden change shocked Anle.

"Is that... the gaze of a god?"

But he had clearly attracted the attention of the gods just by saying the name?

This treatment is a bit too exaggerated!

Anle knew before that thinking about, remembering, and mentioning gods might all be known by the gods, but there were so many people chanting the names of gods, why were they so sensitive to him?

Suddenly, Anle was stunned.

What if... this god himself has a deep connection with him?

When this connection becomes strong enough, it only takes an opportunity to attract attention.

He had an epiphany: "This Tianyuan Holy Mother is probably the mother of this flesh and blood body."

Anle suppressed his distracting thoughts and asked Ji Yunting, "Is this the deity enshrined in all the temples in Daxia?"

He didn't dare to mention this name now, for fear of causing some unusual changes again.

Ji Yunting had no idea what he was thinking and said, "Of course not."

"There are more than a dozen gods worshipped in Daxia, but the most popular ones are the Holy Mother of Tianyuan and the Emperor of Houtu, who are the two righteous gods of Daxia."

These words confirmed Anle's previous guess.

There is never just one god.

Obviously, the relationship between them may not be solid.

However, there is a big difference between Daxia and Dazhou in this regard. Dazhou does not have the habit of calling any god by name. When common people pray, they often refer to them as gods, as if they regard them as a whole.

Anle asked again: "What powers do these two gods control?"

Ji Yunting was already very concerned about gods, so he simply explained them to him.

"It is said that the Holy Mother of Tianyuan and the Emperor of Houtu are the creators of this world. The former drew a straight line in the chaos, and the sky was formed. The latter drew a circle, and the earth was formed."

"The Holy Mother of Tianyuan is high above, monitoring billions of stars. Everything is in Her eyes, and nothing can escape Her sight."

Ji Yunting continued, "He is impartial, yet kind and compassionate. It is He who casts the sun, which makes life flourish and all things grow. It is He who created the night, which makes the day and night alternate, so that people will not die in the sun. According to legend, His true body once descended to Daxia to open people's wisdom."

"The Thick Earth Emperor pacified the mountains and rivers, so that the rivers no longer ran out of control, and brought new vitality to the earth. Under his great power, the mountains and rivers became suitable for survival, water gushed out from the ground, and the cold plateau became flat land."

"All living things on the earth are His people."

Finally, Ji Yunting added: "Of course, these are the achievements praised in the temple. I am not sure whether they are true or not."

She confessed: "I have abandoned my previous beliefs now."

Chapter 324 Daxia was defeated?

From Ji Yunting's narration, it is not difficult to hear that Tianyuan Shengmu and Houtu Emperor are the creator gods that usually appear in mythology, but they hold different powers.

But Anle didn't know whether this was the truth.

Any belief will glorify the gods it believes in, and these two gods of Daxia are no exception.

However, after hearing the evaluation of Tianyuan's "mercy and compassion", An Le felt quite ironic and funny. Whether it was His attitude towards the abomination he created by himself, or the destruction of Da Zhou, it could be seen that He is a far cry from "mercy and mercy".

Ji Yunting looked towards the temple not far away, from which he could faintly hear the sound of chanting and prayers. The people near the temple all looked at him with envy, and some were muttering to themselves, taking this opportunity to pray sincerely.

Although all beings are equal under the gods, the temple is a sacred place and naturally not everyone can enter it. Otherwise, defiling this pure land would be a blasphemy against the gods.

Allowing slaves to pray outside the temple was already a sign of mercy from the priests.

Ji Yunting's eyes were complicated.

In the past, she was also one of the devout prayers in the temple, but after learning the truth about the extraterritorial demon, her faith collapsed in an instant.

If the gods really love the world, why would they issue an oracle to exterminate the demons from outside the territory?

Or, in the eyes of the gods, the people of the Great Zhou are no longer human?

Once he thought of this, Ji Yunting felt as if an invisible thorn had been stabbed in his heart, and he could no longer respect and worship the gods as he did before.

They walked in the city for a while, and before long, the sky gradually darkened.

Ji Yunting looked up at the sky and smiled bitterly, "Wuxu, you have shown me another perspective of that battle. Now, I will also take you to see what the Great Zhou looks like in our eyes."

After saying that, Ji Yunting activated his magic power, soared into the sky, and flew out of the city.

Not long after, night fell.

Different from Da Zhou, Da Xia's darkness did not rush in like a tide, but slowly diffused in the air, like a mist, gently enveloping the whole world in it.

Seeing this scene, Anle realized something: "This darkness is a medium that makes the two worlds of Da Zhou and Da Xia temporarily overlap at night."

"Now it seems that darkness has dragged Da Xia into the world of Da Zhou."

"But why does darkness not harm the people of Da Xia, but corrode the flesh and blood of the people of Da Zhou?"

Of course, An Le will not forget those people who lost their flesh and blood and turned into bones in the darkness, but right now, the people of Daxia have not suffered the slightest harm in the darkness, no different from ordinary nights.

In fact, based on what Anle saw and heard that day, the overall strength of Da Xia was not much stronger than that of Da Zhou. He was even certain that after Xuantian's reforms, Da Zhou would only become stronger day by day, and its national strength was very likely to be above that of Da Xia.

But it is precisely because of the existence of darkness that the cultivators of the Great Zhou are always passive when facing attacks, and they will die on the spot if they are not careful.

However, the soldiers of Daxia had the advantage of being at home, and they were like fish in water, easily breaking through the city.

"Could it be that the darkness is actually a native product of the Great Xia, so that it can instinctively reject creatures from the Great Zhou?"

Anle gathered his thoughts and continued to look at the scene below.

Ji Yunting stayed in the air with the Zhenyang Stone, allowing him to see the entire picture around the city more clearly.

After night fell, streams of light flew out of the city, pierced the sky, and finally gathered in an open space outside the city.

Those people had a distinguished aura, with several divine storages in their bodies emitting faint light. They were all cultivators with extraordinary strength. At this moment, they gathered together in an orderly manner, emitting a murderous aura, just like a real army.

"A scholar is both a monk and a soldier."

Ji Yunting said softly: "In Daxia, practitioners must serve in the military and participate in the night war. This is their obligation after enjoying the offerings of the lower class, even the royal family is no exception."

"Moreover, joining the army is the only way for people to change their status. Even if they are slaves, as long as they are selected into the army and make contributions, they can practice martial arts and become monks!"

Hearing these words, An Le thought deeply.

Perhaps the reason why Daxia wanted to wipe out the "extraterritorial demons" was not only due to historical reasons such as the oracle, but also because its internal contradictions had become so serious that they could not be made any bigger.

Only by using war to divert conflicts can we maintain our own stability.

The entire Great Xia is like a country tied to a chariot. Once the chariot stops, it will fall apart even without external force.

At this time, more and more soldiers gathered not far away, under the command of different commanders.

Among them was a burly commander who shouted: "The devil's lair has appeared, follow me to destroy the heavenly demon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out first and moved towards a dark direction, followed by several monks behind him.

With this person taking the lead, commanders one after another led their soldiers into the darkness.

Although they are an army, they are very different from ordinary people's armies. They have a high degree of autonomy and pay almost no attention to troop deployment and have no strategy.

After all, the Daxia monks who were not invaded by darkness naturally took the initiative. From the very beginning, this was not an equal war!

An Le was in a serious mood and asked, "The devil's cave you mentioned is the city of Da Zhou, right?"

"But how do you determine where the city appears?"

He remembered the Zhoutian star map he saw in Yuansheng City. It was precisely because of the arc-shaped cities in the star map that King Yuan realized that there was another civilization in the darkness.

Ji Yunting replied, "Often before night falls, the gods will issue an oracle to predict the location where the demon...city will appear, and the soldiers will use this to prepare in advance."

"I see."

Anle nodded and said, "Then please let me take a closer look, Your Highness."

Ji Yunting said: "That's exactly what I meant, but please be mentally prepared."

After saying that, Ji Yunting took the Zhenyang Stone and flew towards the direction where the demon cave appeared. Along the way, Anle also saw a few sporadic black shadows emerging out of thin air. Although the distance was far, he could not see them clearly, but he could vaguely see their strange and bizarre outlines, which looked a little scary.

Anle guessed that it was a big monster or creature in the wild of Da Zhou, but under the cover of darkness, it turned into another appearance.

Immediately afterwards, a huge shadow appeared in the darkness not far away.

As Ji Yunting got closer, the true face of the shadow gradually appeared before Anle's eyes.

This is a city made of bones. Countless bones are piled on top of each other, taller than mountains. Everywhere you look, you can see bones!

Many of the white bones were still covered with scarlet rotten flesh, which seemed to be full of life, with blood vessels beating from time to time, and a thick demonic energy covered them, surging and rolling.

There are also many demons from other realms in the White Bone City.

Some of them are huge, some are petite, but all of them look strange, like monsters formed by different creatures put together, with rugged and deformed muscles and organs.

Some demons have several heads of different creatures, no skin, and their flesh and blood are directly exposed to the air. Some are covered with eyeballs of different sizes with strange light flashing in their eyes. Some have lost their human form and are just a mass of paste-like meat.

They are somewhat similar to the demons An Le saw in the Infinity Instant Stone.

This situation can only be described as a "magic cave".

Seeing this, Anle was filled with anger, his blood boiling, and he gritted his teeth.

"A trick of the gods!"

He knew very clearly in his mind that the essence of the extraterritorial demons were all living, normal people, simple and innocent citizens of the Great Zhou. It was just that in the darkness, their image had been distorted in some way, presenting this appearance.

Even though Anle had guessed this long ago, he still felt furious when he saw it with his own eyes.

"This is how the people of Da Zhou look to us."

Ji Yunting sighed, "You should understand why the people of Daxia want to wipe out the demons, right?"

Ji Yunting already knew the true nature of those demons, and looking at the inevitable war before her, she couldn't bear to watch it and asked.

"This could turn into a massacre. Do you still want to continue watching?"

Anle said: "Of course I want to see it."

He looked at the people of Great Zhou in the White Bone City, and suddenly realized something. He smiled and said, "Besides, this war may not be won by you, Great Xia."

Ji Yunting was a little surprised. She found that Anle's mood seemed to have suddenly improved a lot.

But given the current situation, she really couldn't think of the reason behind it.

"Excuse me for being blunt, but Daxia has the advantage of location, and its soldiers are extremely brave and valiant. I really can't see how Dazhou can win..."

Before Ji Yunting could finish his words, something strange happened on the battlefield.

I saw many extraterritorial demons in the White Bone City suddenly holding up the central stones, and the brilliant light suddenly lit up, as dazzling as stars, connecting into one and dispelling the darkness around them.

Without the protection of darkness, the people of Da Xia were not much stronger than those of Da Zhou, and they were particularly vulnerable in front of the primordial giants.

In just a few seconds, there were considerable casualties among the Daxia soldiers.

Ji Yunting was stunned: "Is this... formation?"

"The best is better than the blue!"
